Rituals in Transfigured Erotica

Little Birds is a strange web of deviant, intense, and sometimes almost mundane sensual encounters. When read expertly by Sofia Willingham, Anaïs Nin's erotica feels like the narration to a lost Maya Deren film (Nin actually appeared in Deren's "Rituals in Transfigured Time" (1946) playing a part written especially for her). It's weirdly sexy and slightly uncomfortable in all the best ways.
